    Pumpkin PDF added

    Here is a link to the downloadable pdf of the fabric pumpkins I made last Saturday. I’ll also add the pattern to the Free Pattern page and to the original post.

    Oh Gourd!

    Today was totally dead here in the store (too nice outside for shopping I’m guessing) so I had time to get creative. I had it in my mind this week to look for a pattern to make fabric pumpkins. I did a quick Google search the other day but didn’t find anything that I really liked. So today I played around until I came up with one of my own.

    I don’t have time now to write up all the directions and make a proper tutorial but I will try to get to it asap next week.

    Have a great weekend!

    New Fabric!

    These are from the “Portugal” line by April Cornell for Moda. Gorgeous, soft colors and beautiful all over floral designs define these pretty summer cottons. I can see pretty A-line skirts, sleeveless tops, or summery sundresses made from any of these.

    The second bunch of fabric to arrive this week is also from Moda. This time it was the “Pumpkins Gone Wild” line from Sandy Gervais. Really fun and bright. I love the falling leaves one and the all-over funky floral is really cool. I think I see a groovy witch or seasonal apron coming soon out of some of these.
